Old Scratch Help Pages - What Are They?

Pixilized

While researching something for someone on the forums, I stumbled across this page:
https://scratch.mit.edu/help/studio/tips/blocks/size/
I can change the word “size” to get information about different blocks, other than the size reporter. Is there a homepage for all these pages? If not, can anyone help me make a list of all of these pages?
I’m interested in this little piece of Scratch history, and would like to compile them if there is no page with links to all of them.

i… have never seen this before. they could have been a scrapped part of 2.0, maybe like appearing in a context menu button that describes what the block does. if this is the case, there's probably not a home page.

maybe the scratch team isn't so bad

Not quite sure if these are related but -
These are scratch help cards maybe the two were related?

Kumquats are tasty

I started scratch in 2.0
Is that a rare thing?

I also found these afterwards:
https://scratch.mit.edu/help/studio/tips/blocks/variable/
https://scratch.mit.edu/help/studio/tips/blocks/list/
And some more. There seems to be a page for each block, but I can’t find the url for two word blocks, or custom blocks.

EDIT: Mybearworld has looked into Scratch’s files on GitHub and as compiled a list of all of them. There’s a lot more than I previously thought!
Here’s the list:

scratch 2.0 had a little question mark icon that you could press anywhere to get information about a block in a little sidebar.

disclaimer: sometimes my posts are pretty critical of the scratch team (especially my older ones), but i really do

scratch & scratch team. jvvg made a short essay thing about the scratch team, which is a pretty good read, if you want a different perspective for the scratch team's actions.
